WWE WrestleMania 37 Night 1 Attendance Revealed
How many fans actually made it into Raymond James Stadium for WrestleMania 37 Night 1?
25,675 fans piled into Raymond James Stadium on Night 1 of WrestleMania 37, WWE have officially announced.
Last night's first part of this year's two-night 'Mania 37 extravaganza saw a substantial amount of live fans in attendance at a WWE event for the first time in 13 months. Coming into the show itself, it was reported that WWE were set to welcome 25,000 members of their fanbase into the stadium on each night. This was a decrease from the 75,000 tickets they planned to sell before having to reduce the capacity due to COVID-19 protocols, but still a massive feat in the context of the current state of the planet.
As always though, it appears WWE have gone out of their way to boost their numbers in an attempt to make their attendances look that little bit more impressive. As of writing, there's still no word on where the additional 675 fans/attendees came from, but expect a similar number to rear its head after tonight's second helping of WrestleMania 37 goodness.
WWE's full announcement on their sell-out live attendance in over a year reads as follows:
